Meh. Ignoring piddly pedantic objections that such a style doesn’t actually exist, if it did, I’d expect that a Black Saison would be subject to the same pitfalls as a Black IPA – and this one kinda blunders into all of them. The dark malt blunts the tartness and crispness that I most appreciate in Saisons, and the relatively high ABV feels out of place.Can’t say I’m very impressed. (11/20)
